The M6 has been shut in both directions to the north of Preston.

Emergency services are on the scene including the Air Ambulance.

National Highways North West say the ‘serious collision’ has taken place shortly after 11.20am on Wednesday (6 November).

Both the northbound and sound bound carriageways are currently closed on the M6. A lorry is understood to have overturned across both carriageways – and a number of other vehicles are involved.

The crash itself is close to the Junction 33 turn.
